SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The MRB was created under the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), in accordance with section 4116 of the Safe, Accountable,
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users,
SAFETEA-LU, Public Law 109-59 (2005) (codified as amended at 49 U.S.C.

[[Page 51220]]
advice to FMCSA on ``medical standards for operators of commercial
motor vehicles that will ensure that the physical condition of
operators of commercial motor vehicles is adequate to enable them to
operate the vehicles safely.'' The MRB operates in accordance with FACA
under the terms of the MRB charter, filed November 25, 2019.
II. Agenda
At the meeting, the agenda will cover MRB's consideration of the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration's June 30, 2021 announcement
regarding the voluntary recall of certain Continuous Positive Air
Pressure (CPAP) machines due to potential health risks. FMCSA will task
the MRB with providing recommendations about how to best assist medical
examiners on the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners
(National Registry) and the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers who
use these CPAPs on identifying reliable sources of information
concerning options for drivers with machines covered by the recall.
